Be Firm And Do What You say.
by: Anonymous

I think you need to show a little temper. Be very firm and say you will leave the dog outside and do it.

Either way, they do not seem to value your friendship, so you'll either lose it by telling them NO or leaving the dog outside.

Voice of Experience
by: Anonymous

I had the same (slightly different) problem a while ago. I own a private horse farm and have my own - very well behaved - collies. If you simply say "leave it" they will run to the nearest person and lay down. Well, a boarder has a pack of not-so-well-trained dogs that enjoy chasing the horses. I have told them multiple times that I do not allow dogs (especially untrained dogs that drop fleas everywhere, chase the horses, get in dog fights, and snap at the other boarders and my children). Of course, they agree, they understand, they say they'll never bring them back... until the dogs show up again the next time they come to ride their horses.
I'm sorry to say that you're only option after that is to a) put up with it or b) not allow them to come back to your house. I understand the issues with hair as well as simply not being a dog person. If you loose their friendship, don't feel too bad... real friends would not have repeatedly imposed as they did.

Your Home is Your Home
by: Anonymous

I was completely shocked reading this post. It is obvious your friends come across as selfish and inconsiderate ignoring your wishes and disrespecting you. Your home is your home where you set the rules. Anyone who can not abide to these rules should not enter your home. I am quite convinced Emily Post would say the same thing.
